194X Iberia B Serial # 73870 194X Iberia B typewriter, Serial # 73870 Javier Vazquez del Olmo's 194X Iberia B typewriter. 2022-08-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Javier Vazquez del Olmo: 194X Iberia B Serial # 73870 Again, the fragile and inspiring Iberia.

Since things didn't go well last time I gave it another chance. Once more I've stumbled upon a damaged Iberia, at a good price if I took it and its travel partner (an Underwood SS), which I did. As expected, the condition is far from ideal. Not only because of the usual effects of time and neglection, but also because of the quality of the typewriter itself. Yes, this machine is fragile, but it's also quite inspiring when you see how great it will be after being cleaned and repaired. For once, I have a picture that proves it.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.

A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Iberia B on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Iberia Serial Number page and the Iberia B By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
